Liverpool manager Arne Slot said he has no clue whether Mohamed Salah has played his final game for the club after the forward’s outspoken comments claiming he had been “thrown under the bus” and that he no longer had a relationship with Slot. Salah, 33, was left out of Liverpool’s 19-man squad for Tuesday’s Champions League clash with Inter Milan, despite training with the team on Monday.
Slot admitted he was surprised by Salah’s statements, made after being an unused substitute in Saturday’s 3-3 draw at Leeds United. He stressed that while Salah has the right to his feelings, publicly airing them obliges the club to react. Slot declined to speculate on who Salah’s comments were directed at, saying only Salah could answer that.
The Egypt international, who has scored 250 goals and won multiple trophies with Liverpool, has faced scrutiny this season, with his form questioned and several appearances from the bench. Slot emphasized that the club’s reaction was necessary and that his authority is not undermined, though the situation adds pressure as Liverpool struggle this season—currently ninth in the Premier League and 13th in their Champions League group.
